ORIENTEERING

Orienteering Team Commander: C/LTJG Poehler   

Orienteering is listed as one of the top five adventure sports. For those not acquainted with orienteering, it is basically cross country running but without an established course. Orienteering requires navigational skills and common sense as well as stamina. A topographical map and a compass are necessary to get from point to point in order in the fastest time possible. There are different levels of courses you can run such as the white course (beginners course), Yellow course (novices/ Intermediate), Orange course (Junior Varsity), Brown course (Varsity Girls), and Green Course (Varsity Boys). Although physically extensive, the orienteering team has a great time during practices and competitions. They welcome anyone who wants to learn how to orienteer.

• Orienteering Team participation is co-ed and open to all cadets.

• Team practice will take place after school hours and on weekends.

• Team members are strongly encouraged to join the Lee County High School Cross Country Team to help build their stamina and improve their running abilities for competition in both events.

ARMED DRILL

Armed Basic Drill Team Commander: C/SCPO Encarnacion

Armed Exhibition Drill Team Commander: C/ENS Wilson

Armed Drill is separated into 2 categories: Regulation and Exhibition. Regulation drill combines the essence of military discipline with the key virtues of teamwork, where cadets follow a predetermined order of movements, using extreme precision and impeccable timing to impress judges with each and every movement and face. Exhibition drill is where cadets show off their true command of the rifle as well as unwavering teamwork as they execute spins, tosses, and complex marching movements to blow judges away with a routine that never fails to impress. 

UNARMED DRILL

Unarmed Basic Drill Team Commander: C/LCDR Allen

Unarmed Exhibition Drill Team Commander: C/LTJG Waters

Like Armed Drill, Unarmed Drill is separated into Regulation and Exhibition. With Regulation drill, teams follow a scripted routine and, especially with the absence of rifles, must use their military bearing and impeccable timing to “out-drill” the other teams. In Unarmed exhibition, teams must use a combination of slaps and highly complex marching movements to deliver a unique routine that never disappoints. 

ACADEMICS

Team Commander:  C/ENS Terry                                                  

The Academic Team is a competition team that deals with the curriculum involved in NJROTC instruction. The team consists of multiple 4-cadet teams that compete individually at Brain Brawls. Brain Brawls are the team competitions that allow the cadets to compete for trophies, ribbons, medals, and a chance to compete at the Area and National levels. Curriculum or study materials that the team covers at practice come from the Naval Science 1-4 textbooks, as well as Cadet Field Manual and Cadet Reference Manual, in addition to popular knowledge that is found in bonus questions at Brain Brawls. These subjects encompass,  Meteorology, Maritime law, Naval and United States history, Astronomy, and General Inspection and Drill knowledge, as well as SAT Reading and Math. In addition the team competes in postal "mail in" competitions that take place throughout the year during normal practice hours.

COLOR GUARD

Color Guard Team Commander: C/LT Nicolas

With 4 cadets and 4 judges, this is considered the most intense drill event at a Field Meet. Color Guard is nothing short of a masterpiece correlation of military bearing, perfect timing, and unparalleled attention to detail of the routine. With the challenge of a small drill field area, two flags, and two rifles as opposed to all rifles, Color Guard is a drill event that requires tedious practice and dedicated performers. Nothing short of perfection will bring home 1st place. 

DRONE

Drone Team Commander: C/LTJG Martin

The drone team comprises of one or two teams of four cadets that travel to many different drone comps throughout the year. Pilots will hone in their drone flying capabilities, by flying through obstacles and landing on targets. Regardless of your drone flying experience, the drone team has practices two times a week, enough time to learn the controls. Depending on how good the team does, drone can qualify for the Area 12 Drone Championships, and hopefully bring home the win.
